I wasn’t sure what to get my husband for Valentine’s Day, but when my friend Barbara asked if I wanted to go paint ceramics again I decided it was a good opportunity to make him something! It wasn’t hard to figure out what to do, as my husband really loves robots. I found a robot design that I thought was really …

For a while now my friend Barbara has been trying to lure me into her favorite Chinese restaurant to try Dim Sum.  She had already introduced me to the world of sushi, and when she heard I had never tried Dim Sum either, she was a woman on a mission. Today we finally got together for lunch so I could …

Ugh, I’ve been dreading this one.  I’m really not a big music person… there are a lot of songs I can sing along with but ask me who sings them or what they are called? Forget it… I’m not going to do a playlist for just one person, because I’ll never come up with the songs but I’ll just give …

Other than wishing I’d never dated this douchebag or acted like such a shithead when I first moved here, I think the thing I wish I hadn’t done in my life is waste my opportunity for a decent education by quitting college.  I went to college straight out of high school, which was a mistake, but a bigger mistake was …

Last night our friends Paule and Warnoud came over with their daughter Faela. You may have heard me mention Faela a few times. Cutie patootie that can talk the hind leg off a mule? Ring a bell?

Shit, this one is tough.  Who’s idea was it for me to do this stupid thing anyway?! haha I think we all have people we get to know who we find out we don’t really jive with, and I could write about someone like that but I don’t think it’s possible to write a post about them here without somehow …

One person I never wanted to lose touch with but somehow did was a friend of mine who used to live here in NL.  I met her years ago when she was living here with her husband, she was really new here and she hated it with a passion.  Her husband was only here on a two year contract and …

I have to admit, I’m having trouble with this one.  I’d say it’s because nobody has ever done anything mean or unkind to me, but that’s not true.  I know it’s not because I’m such a forgiving person because that’s not true either, I can hold a grudge like you wouldn’t believe if someone does something horrible enough. I’d say …

Yesterday me and two of my oldest and dearest friends here in the Netherlands met up in Bergen op Zoom for a girl’s day out. A very much needed girl’s day out too, for all of us.

We have a visitor here for the next few days! Some friends of ours have gone away to Barcelona and asked if their dog Titan could come and have a sleepover with us.

Whew, ok… clearly I’m a little behind on keeping my 101 List up to date.
